Done scraping the ice off your windshield on this first day of spring? Good. Because there’s a new Seven Days awaiting on newsstands, online and on the app. This week’s lineup of news and politics features…
- In this week’s cover story, Paul Heintz profiles Sen. Patrick Leahy. Vermont’s senior senator wields more clout than ever on Capitol Hill, and he won’t say what his future holds.
- Accused cop car crusher Roger Pion is one of many Vermont defendants ruled incompetent to stand trial due to traumatic brain injuries. But what happens to TBI-afflicted defendants after their charges are dismissed?
- Neighbors have raised concerns over a natural gas pipeline’s proposed extension through Addison County and across Lake Champlain. Why is the pipeline so important to Ticonderoga’s International Paper in New York?
- This week in Fair Game: Burlington’s city council is evenly split between Democrats and everyone else — and the vote to elect its next president could very well end in a stalemate. Plus, Jim Douglas talks rebranding Republicans, and Paul Heintz shines a light on some job shuffling in the ranks of the state’s government workers.
